The Clusia Princess, also known as the Autograph Tree, is a striking tropical plant native to Central and South America, particularly in regions like the Caribbean and southern Mexico. This plant earns its unique nickname due to its ability to leave permanent "autographs" on its thick, glossy leaves when you carve into them. The markings stay visible for a long time, adding a playful element to this beautiful plant. Often used as an ornamental tree, it can grow into a large shrub or small tree, making it a statement piece in any home or garden.
First, despite being a popular "signing" tree, its leaves have a self-healing property, meaning small scratches or carvings will gradually disappear over time. Second, this plant is exceptionally tough and resilient, capable of tolerating drought, salty air, and even low light, making it an excellent choice for beginner plant owners. Third, the Clusia Princess can grow quite large, reaching up to 10 feet indoors with the right care, providing a dramatic and lush addition to your space.
To keep your Clusia Princess thriving, it’s essential to provide it with bright, indirect light for optimal growth. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, too much can scorch its leaves. East or west facing light is perfect for this plant. Avoid placing it in low light conditions, as this can cause it to become leggy and weaken its overall health. Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels dry, and ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot. It prefers warmer temperatures and should be kept in a space above 50°F. To keep it healthy, consider increasing humidity around the plant by misting or using a humidifier, especially during dry periods. With proper care, the Clusia Princess will flourish and continue to be a stunning addition to your home.

from 264 reviewsI am loving my Monstera Swiss Cheese! It arrived in perfect condition - healthy, vibrant, and full of character. The leaves already have that iconic fenestration, and it's thriving in its new spot.
You can tell this plant was cared for before it even got to me,. I appreciate the thoughtful packaging and quick delivery. Definitely one of my new favorites in my collection.

I absolutely love my Schefflera Variegated (Umbrella Plant)! It arrived healthy, vibrant, and has already become a favorite among my houseplants. The variegation is beautiful, and it's adjusting well to its new home.
Appreciate the care you put into packaging and shipping - it really shows. I'll definitely be ordering from The Rooted Plant Shop again! 💚

I absolutely LOVE this monthly plant subscription! Every single shipment has been packed with so much care that everything arrives secure, tidy, and damage-free. The plants themselves? Stunning! Each one has shown up happy, healthy, and absolutely beautiful. You can tell they take pride in quality because my plants look like they’ve come straight from a greenhouse into my home. It’s always such a joy to open the box each month and see what new green beauty is waiting inside. If you’re on the fence about subscribing, don’t hesitate. This is hands down one of the best plant subscriptions out there

Mel, is one of the sweetest shop owners that I know of! She puts her heart and soul into caring and educating plants! There are very few who would rather educate you than to sale you on a plant! That sale is just a bonus for her! Plants are her life, passion and dream along with moose and Jax! You would truly be supporting someone whom is real, caring and down to earth! Let’s not forget to mention the outstanding plants that are in her care! 10/10 recommend! I adore Mel !

I received my plants very well packed and they are doing wonderfully!😁
I love this little plant. As Mel says, it’s dramatic! It will drop to the tabletop when she is thirsty. Give her some water and watch her perk right up. She is very forgiving. I would recommend it for other beginners as well.
